My kids got rid of their old pre-high school sports awards, but the high school cross-country/running trophies & plaques are boxed up and ready to hand over when the kids have their own permanent homes. The ribbons/medals are in their memorabilia binders.

I still cherish the few ribbons/medals I got back in the iron age.

I think the idea of taking pictures of items that you would like to get rid of, but are sentimentally attached to, is a good solution. A picture of an item is much easier to store than the item itself. I’ll try that someday myself – when the house just gets too full.
